The latest appimage seems to boot games as well. But gamepad config is broken unless you edit some files.

@mitu thanks a lot. <3 you save my project.

works fine, as I am a windows user, I hardly know the linux commands, with your tips I managed to create the necessary folders and permissions.

@itsmelos

When you write the RetroPie image to the SD card, it is creating two partitions.
The first is a boot partition in FAT32 filesystem that is about 250MB as you have already seen.
The second is a GNU/Linux partition in the ext filesystem. Windows will not see this unless you install special software. But that is okay, we really don't need Windows to see it.

As soon as you are done writing the image to the card, just stop and don't let Windows format anything. Insert the card into your Pi 4 and start it up.

@sleve_mcdichael that worked!

@theink
Can you share the source file of your instruction manual for your arcade ?

Thx in advance

@nightm0de said in Steam link. Cant find python 3 dev package.:

sudo dkpg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update

In my case, I use:

sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt update

@jolasvenn Post the contents of your config.txt file.

@manuel_pieper have you checked your restrictor plate under the joystick? If its adjustable, maybe its in the 4 way profile instead of the 8 way?

Booted up on sd-card only and found a huge pile of cache files from skyscraper. Purged it and that fixed the issue.

@sirhenrythe5th ahh sorry about that. I must have missed that part. Thank you!

I solved the problem. It was easy. An update from the lr-Atari800 emulator helped.

@accio-brain

The forum has a search option !

@sleve_mcdichael

Thanks ! Will give it a try and post result after a couple of tests...

@folly Thank you, it is working now!

Please forgive me for replying in an older topic, but I just had to thank barbudreadmon for his explanation on "how to use cheat codes with FBneo." I've been on youtube, tons of forums and could only get .cht's to work but not the .ini files. Some very smart folks here....... Thank you so much :D.
